Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pakistan and Kenya.
Pakistan and Kenya
The Foreign Secretary will be aware that Britain's Pakistani community is extremely exercised by events in Pakistan, and the circumstances of Benazir Bhutto's death remain extremely contentious. We are glad that British police are going out to support the Pakistani police, but does he accept that most people in Pakistan have no confidence in an inquiry led by the Pakistani authorities, whose first act was to hose down the crime scene? Is he telling the House that he has completely ruled out the possibility of a genuine, independent inquiry led by the UN or another international organisation?
